Not just a good action film, but a great film.

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2005)

Never an action film had caught my attention from the beginning as much as this one did. I always expect to enjoy action films but I feel that they will not be able to compare themselves to films such as "La vita è bella" or "Moulin Rouge". Whilst this one reminds you at times (mainly by the images, rather than the plot itself) to "Minority report" or "The matrix", you can still see its own scenario and the actors help you see past the script and straight into an amazing story. Special effects feel a bit excessive at times, but the brilliant soundtrack makes your head deal nicely with the amount of explosions and chases there are. This film has also got the exact amount of simple jokes that will make you laugh from time to time without thinking they are trying too hard. Overall, an incredibly good film that I would recommend blind folded.
